Description
Detached four-bay single-storey Orange Hall, built c.1880, with advanced central porch, and recent lean-to to south-west gable. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, brick chimneystacks to gables, plain timber bargeboards to porch, and replacement metal rainwater goods. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble walls with dressed sandstone block quoins, claw scraped and feathered at margins. Plain render to rear elevation and to porch. Brick surrounds to windows openings with flat arches, stone sills, and plain reveals. Replacement uPVC casement windows. Set back from the road.
Appraisal
A simply executed Orange Hall with a degree of formality given by its symmetry and in the detailing of the dressed quoins and brick surround to windows. The building testifies to the historically strong Unionist tradition in the county and is a significant part of the area's social history.
